Melvin Guillard def. Mac Danzig via knockout at 2:47 of round two.

The ref should have stopped that sooner. Grrrrr.

I wish the ref had been a little quicker too, Cathy, those last hits from Melvin looked like they were really hard and right on his nose which was already beat up. Mac looked like he was in a lot of pain when they showed him on the ground, and he didn't look good when Buffer was announcing the winner.
